Executive Chef Antonio Cosentino prepares Caramel-shaped Pasta with Red Pepper Sauce

Ingredients:

Pasta:
3 Extra large eggs
2 Cups all-purpose flour

Sauce:
1-2 Ripe red peppers
Olive oil
Fresh basil leaves 3-5
Approx. 1/2 cup of Cream
Approx. 1/2 cup of Broth (chicken)

Filling:
1lb. Mozzarella
Fresh Basil
1/2 cup Shrimp, chopped into small pieces

Methods:

  1. Pasta (prepare ahead of time):
    • On a large board or counter top, mound the flour and create a well in the centre.
    • Break the eggs one at a time into the well, mixing the egg into the flour with a fork.
    • Once all the eggs have been added, knead with your hands until the dough is firm and elastic.
    • Cover with plastic wrap and let sit 30 minutes before using.
    • Prepare round pasta cut-outs using a cookie-cutter or a large glass.
  2. Sauce:
    • Cut pepper into thin slices.
    • Place pepper slices in pan with olive oil and basil; cook for approx. 5 min. on medium heat.
    • Add cream and broth to peppers and continue to cook.
  3. While sauce is cooking, brush water onto one corner of the already-prepared pasta dough (to help seal pasta when it is folded over).
  4. Combine filling ingredients and add large spoon-size amount to center of each pasta cut-out.
  5. Fold pasta into caramel shape (or any desired shape).
  6. Cook pasta in boiling water 7 ­ 10 minutes or until desired firmness.
  7. Once cooked, add pasta into pan with red pepper sauce; mix well and heat for several minutes.
